I Just Can't Stand it Any More!!! This Next Rant is Dedicated to "Professional" Critics.

This editorial is in response to an article I read from a "critic" who it shows doesn't enjoy life or anything that is not "artistic".

<commence rant> 
In my line of business, summer is one of the slowest times in my office. So i see myself hanging around here(CBM.com) or going out with the Mrs. , playing video games or watching CBMs either at home or the new ones out in the theaters. 

Overall I'm a pretty chill guy, however you know



Is when overpaid hacks with no sense of what life is all about, have no sense of humor or wonder, they think they are smarter that you, belitte something that  majority and more people day by day enjoy, and that is CBMs. Look I'm not saying that all CBMs are good, cough - Green Lantern - cough, however if your JOB is to review films at least watch the bloody thing from start to finish before you make an opinion about it. The SAD thin is people actually listen to this guys!!!!

Nowadays it looks like most of these "critics" do is look at the trailer, IMDB the movie, fil the rest of their column with nonsense to appear smart and witty just to say 

in the process not capturing story, theme, or feeling behind it that all of these directors and actors put into it.

All in all everyone, not to sound like Obi wan but trust your feelings, listen to your frineds and like minded people such as the fine folks her at CBM.com, they are your true source of what is good or not. Even though the flame wars do happen, I do enjoy a good Deadpool thread.

who exactly are you ranting against? I assume this is in response to GotG since it opens this weekend, but it currently has a score of 76 on metacritic and 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. So I'm not sure why you're pissed.

The critics do get it right sometimes. Transformers 4 really did suck.

I was running in the park last night with my dog and I saw what looked like a man furiously masturbating. He was just shaking rocks out of his shoe though.

I agree. When I was young I never understood critics like Siskel & Ebert. There were not many movies that they enjoyed that I liked as well. That is where I learned to not worry about other people's opinion and to make my own mind up about whether I liked it or not.

I mean...it is possible that some people won't like GotG.

Its also possible that not all critics are going to have the same opinion about a movie as you.

Critics goal is to tell us if the movie sucks or not. When 90 out of 100 say it sucks, why would I waste 10 bucks to find out for myselves. I mean granted they screw some of them up (I mean suprerman returns has better RT then MOS) But still I at least take at least half of their word for granted

I may sometimes look at what critics say about a movie, but I just dont care really. They arent what they used to be anyway. Sure I havent been around for 50 years, but Im saying they dont have the influence they used to. If 20% of critics like a movie that 90% of the audience did, and the critics make up like o.2% of the entire general audience, does it matter what they say? I dont think so at all. I judge a movie for myself, and if the AUDIENCES liked it, then it obviously was generally liked/loved whatever have you. [frick] critics.

@ Jack

Yeah, I haven't seen Chris Pratt in anything, but from what I've seen he looks like a pretty good fit.

I'm pumped for this. I haven't been this excited to see a movie since Avengers.

I watch YouTube reviewers, but they don't sway my decision on the movie. They just decide if i'm watching it in the theater, on dvd, or on PutLocker first.

My philosophy is let them sway if you see the movie, not HOW you see the movie. If 90% of them say it's good than there's a good chance you'll like it and it's worth spending your money on. If 90% don't like it there's a greater chance you won't like it too.

The most important thing is if you get excited when you watch the trailers go see it, no matter how much a reviewer dislikes it. Unless every single review you see says that the trailer is misleading, it's a good sign you might like it.

With movie tickets getting more expensive everyday then people are going to listen to what reviewers say more. A regular, non-3D movie already costs you 20 bucks. TWENTY BUCKS! Of course people are going to see what critics have to say before spending that kind of money on something like a one time movie trip.

I think it's true that some reviewers don't watch the whole movie, which I get if they simply hate the genre (in this case, comic book movies or sci fi), but in that case, why write a review?

One reviewer I saw on RT likened GOTG to Green Lantern and Howard the Duck. Obviously his source wasn't even trailers but Internet message boards.

Another reviewer complained about Gunn's attempts to be witty while trying to be witty in his review himself!

I'm not saying all reviewers should agree, but they should at least make legitimate observations.
